He is a player that loves the game and plays it as hard as he can, he has some good years ahead, and I wish him all the luck in the world…Hop, your a clown, and probably don’t belong on a thread about the Red Sox, if only more Yankee fans could have the class of Pilothawkeye, take notes Hop, because you need all the help you can get…

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 10:23:29 +0000http://localhost/wp/nbchbt/?p=2665#comment-15712I am a Yankees fan who appreciated, admired, and respected Mike Lowell for his professionalism and his work ethic. While I can understand why the Red Sox organization feels the need to give Mr. Lowell his walking papers, I wonder if Mike ever expressed a desire to retire as a Red Sox. If he did, then I feel that the Sox owed Mike that courtesy as a thank you for his years of faithful service. Yes, Mike has slowed down at 3rd, but he could still hit.
I will enjoy watching Mike play for the Rangers; at least the Yankees won’t have to face him 18 times a year.

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 09:48:21 +0000http://localhost/wp/nbchbt/?p=2665#comment-15710Throughout his career, but particularly while he was so visible to me as a BOSOX fan, Mike Lowell has served a reminder of why baseball is such a great sport. He shows up on-time, practices hards, plays the best he can play, is a consummate teammate on and off the field – all with a simple smile and no “look at me” flash. One of the few true examples of what a big league idol should be to today’s youth, especially through the whole ‘roid era.
Thanks for the contributions, efforts and memories Mike. We’ll miss you more than you’ll know.
God bless you and have fun in Texas

I’m surprised it isn’t mentioned, but what does this mean for Tek? I’m thinking that Ramirez is past the point of needing any more minor league seasoning.

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 03:00:31 +0000http://localhost/wp/nbchbt/?p=2665#comment-15702Mike Lowell, 09, on the road: .276/.331/.382
Adrian Beltre, 09, on the road: .279/.324/.393

Safeco is a horrible field for righties, Fenway is an awesome field for righties. That account for most of the offensive difference between the two. Meanwhile, Beltre is one of the best defensive third basemen in the game, whereas Lowell was a statue at third in ’09. Miguel Cabrera or Adrian Gonzalez would be great and all, but even Beltre would be a nice upgrade. Lowell simply had to go.

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 01:43:20 +0000http://localhost/wp/nbchbt/?p=2665#comment-15698Being a Red Sox fan I hate to see Lowell leave but at least I will get to watch him play here in Texas. The Rangers are a young team and Lowell’s leadership could have a big impact. If healthy he should be able to hit between 20-25 home runs playing at the Rangers stadium half the season. A good trade for the Rangers. I hate see the Red Sox breaking up their 07 championship team but that’s the way it goes I guess.

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 01:26:08 +0000http://localhost/wp/nbchbt/?p=2665#comment-15697Ah, yes, the Red Sox: where other organizations’ prospects go to wither and die waiting their turn in depth charts lined with glass ceilings. Why do the Red Sox even bother trading for players they’ll obviously never use? Max Ramirez is a decent-enough hitter to warrant a significant major league role, a chance he’ll never get with the Red Sox. Yes, I’m bitter because the Red Sox ruin all my fantasy prospects.
